Rise of the Jedi Ch 2
"I love that the voice is the voice in your head. She knows exactly what I like!" Meg said a smile on her face as she held out her arms for a hug.
"Thanks but are you sure she's not annoying? I mean she is my mind that has finally been given a voice of its own." I said
"Hey! You made the choice to give me this freedom to finally speak out and now you ask your friend if you should take that away! You are not being very nice to me. And I'm your mind!" My mind said.
"Whatever. I don't want to get into this argument right now." I said.
"I suggest that you two play against each other." My mind said.
"Good idea Scarlet's mind." Sapphire said. She skipped over to the game.
"But Sapphire you haven't warmed up yet." I said. "Remember the last time you didn't warm up before you played that game."
"Oh yeah I was sore the next morning and my muscles hurt a lot. Thanks for reminding me." Sapphire said.
"Warm up music." Sapphire yelled.
Then Sapphire's favorite music played as she warmed up. I turned back to my game and saved my progress. Then I turned the game to a practice level before Sapphire and I decided to pick up where we left off. We fought against each other and then we tag teamed. The phone rang in the room and I looked at the caller ID. It was my mom. I picked up, "You two need to shower up and do something more than play that game!" my mom said.
"Mom that game gives us good exercise. And that's what you wanted us to do wasn't it?" I said.
"What I want you two to do is get some fresh air. Why don't you two go down to the skate park?"
I put down the phone and asked Meg if she wanted to go to the skate park. She said sure.
"Okay mom. We'll shower up and go to the skate park but not until I fix my hair and we change our outfits." I said.
"As long as you don't try some outrageous tricks. That's fine with me just tell me when you leave."
"Okay mom. Bye mom." I said.
We headed down a passageway and there were doors on either side. Each door led to a huge bathroom that had a high tech shower and hot tub and a full wall of angled mirrors so that you could fix your hair, it even had a mirror on the ceiling so we could make sure the hair on top of our head was perfect and didn't have any bumps in it. I put on my white fuzzy robe and fuzzy slippers and I instructed the robot that I summoned to straighten my hair and put it in a high pony tail. I then padded silently to Sapphire's door and knocked.
"Come in! The robot is just putting the finishing touches on my hair!" Sapphire called.
"A high pony tail that has a braid in the middle of it. Nice touch." I said.
"Thanks. Now are we off to the walk in closet to choose our outfits?" Sapphire asked.
"Of course!" I said.
We padded down to the huge room that was three times the size of our high school gym. Before we went in I said out loud, "I would like to see my skateboarding clothes as well as Sapphire's."
I pushed the door open and there were Sapphire's clothes on one side of the room and my clothes on the other side.
"I absolutely love that you made a machine to duplicate my outfits so I could change at your house when we have sleepovers!" Sapphire cried running over to a sparkly black shirt.
"Thanks. I mean I couldn't have come up with the idea without you when you tripped and spilled soda on yourself." I said laughing at the memory.
"Thanks for reminding me." Sapphire said irritated.
We prowled through the clothes each turning to the mirror and holding it up, then turning to each other and asking how it looks.
"I think that would look good on you." I exclaimed as I looked through her black and blue sparkly shirts. It was originally a long sleeved black and blue sparkly shirt. But then I cut the right sleeve off then I put a thumb hole in the left sleeve and cut slashes in it so it looked like Sapphire got attacked.
"And you should wear these pants." I said pointing to a pair of black caprices with sparkly blue pockets and chains on them.
"I love your choice of outfits." Sapphire said ecstatically.
"Thanks now I am going to wear this." I said holing up an outfit.
It was the same as Sapphires but it was black and red and the pants were black with red sparkly pockets and chains on them.
"Cute!" Sapphire exclaimed.
"Now we are off to choose make up and nail colors." I said.
I opened a door had a sign that said Make Up. We sat down in the chairs and faced the mirrors. Instantly make up that matched our outfits perfectly came up from the tiles covering the counters. For me black eye liner, black mascara, and red sparkly eye shadow. For Sapphire black eye liner, black mascara, and blue sparkly eye shadow. After we were done we went through another door that had Nail Polish on it. We sat in chairs and robots came to us and gave us color choices. I chose black background with red flames on it. Sapphire chose black background and blue flames on it. We then put them our hands in a machine that would dry our hands in five seconds. We took our hands out added a top coat and dried them again. We then went through a door labeled Hair Dye. Sapphire put thick black streaks with blue sparkly streaks over the black in her hair. I just put sparkly red streaks in my hair since it was already black.
I raised my voice and said, "Show me the door with Sapphire's and my skateboards!"
The door changed and had pictures of famous skateboarders on it. We went through and chose our boards, Sapphire's board was black with blue flames and blue wheels, and mine was black with red flames and red wheels.
I picked up my red and black cell and called mom.
"Hey mom. Sapphire and I are heading to the skate park." I said.
"It took you less than half an hour I'm surprised."
"Well we used the robots to speed things up." I said.
With that we skated to the park which was two blocks away but luckily we knew the back roads that only skate boarders could use when heading to the skate park. We ran into Emerald, Amethyst, and Canary they were dressed exactly like us except Emerald was dressed in black and green, Amethyst was dressed in black and purple, and Canary was dressed in yellow and black.
"Hey guys what've you been doing?" I asked.
"Hey Scarlet, hey Sapphire. We've been playing against each other in that game you made for us." Amethyst said.
"Funny that we always turn up at the same spot." Canary said.
"It's like we know where the others are." Emerald said.
"Right, like a Force is pulling us toward being near each other." Sapphire said.
"Well now that we're all here we might as well head to the skate park together." I said.
We headed down to the skate park and saw others there.
"Great he's here! Of all the days! I was hoping he wouldn't be here. I've been trying to forget about him." My mind screamed.
